ACLAIRVOYANT IN COURT.
Mary st. John Might Try to Mes
merize His Honor.

The recent expose in the GLOBE of
the way in which some of the fortune
tellers," or clairvOyants, or mediums, as
they call themselves, conduct their
business, has apparently stirred up the
police to the fact that the women. in
many eases. have taken out no license
to carry on the business of mediums
License Inspector Ray started out on
still hunt after reading the GLOBE, and
the fruits of his work were visible yes
terday when Mary st. John, a
medium who makes her home
at the fremont house, was ar
raigned in the municipal court Oh the
charge of Exercising the vocation of a
fortune teller without having first OBJ
tanned a license" The woman, who was
elegantly dressed. said she had recently
come from ST. Paul and did not know it
was necessary to have a license. She
would not knowingly violate the city
ordinances in any way. An old gentle
man who accompanied her made an ap-
peal 10 the court in which he remarked
that other women were doing the same
kind of business without a license. and
he did not see why Mrs. st. John could
not do so also. The case was continued
for one week and the bail was fixed at
800. Other arrests will follow.

on the Street Car Company.

Aid. Dwyer Springs New Scheme
on the Street Car Company.
Aid. Dwyer opened up a new line of
attack upon the Minneapolis Street
Railway company. He offered rather
caustic resolution. that as it had taken
the company thirty days to get conduct
Ors on a few of its principal lines and
only one day for it to remove. without
notice. the conductors from the Twenty
seventh avenue line the 18th ult., that
the council should enforce rule 8. of
section IL, of the ordinance, giving il
contract with the city which
reads that the names of streets shall
be called at all crossings. Let us
have the streets called" he said, "even
if the company only posts men at cross
ingS who do no more than to jump onto
cars and yell the names OF streets in at
the DOORS" He then went on to give
some interesting sketches. Only three
of the nine street car lines now have
conductors. If every line in the city
were supplied with conductors at 81 a
day each it would cost the company but
So. ZOO year. Each car takes in on an
average SO day, and there are about
100 cars, so the cOmpany's receipts are
about 81, 900 day, or S365,00O in year.
Half of this amount would pay
on all lines: S1S0.000. he regarded.
as very fair interest on the money in
vested. This is no longer bObtail OF
a One-horse town." he yelled, land it's
about time we should find out whether
the city council or the street ear COM
panv is running Minneapolis" He re-
marked very pointedly that whenever
he said anything about raising the
wages of the labOrtr IS employed by the
city lie was always met with the cry
that the money Of the taxpayers should
not be recklesSly expended. Now here
was chance TO save $4,000 to the city,
and he called upon the economists to
sustain him.
Aid. johnson offered Aid. DIVER
mock sympathy in his efforts to benefit
the poor people of the city, and then
passed up a resolution as a substitute.
recommending that the street railway
company he asked to discharge its con-
ductorS, and resume the sale of tickets:

would save the poor people 100000
year. and every man using the cars four
times day will save at least So year.
He went on to say that the conductors
were 4 useless incumbrance, whose ser
vices afforded no convenience whatever

THEATRICAL NOTES.

The Hennepin Avenue theater man.
agement and Miss Tanner and her eX-
cellent company have reason to con-
graduate themselves on the exceedingly
successful engagement of the week

of Booth and Barrett, Miss Tanners has
been the most successful week in the
history of the theater. TO-night's per-
Torrance will be the last of the en-
gagement. Matinee this afternoon.
Next week Wilson & Rankin'S min
strelS, one of the best combinations on
the road, will be at the Hennepin Ave
nue..
Sackett & Virgins dime museum has
had one of the most successful weeks i'll
its history, all owing to the anarchitS.
1t may be somewhat presumptfve for
Frederick Book to undertake role like
that of OthellO, but nevertheless he has
played it all week at the Pence, and
played it to the applause of good
houses. The last presentation will be
tonight and "FOgg's Ferry" will be the
bill for next week.
Manager Conklin announces that
there will be only two matinees during
the Robert Downing engagement at the
Grand next week, viz: Thanksgiving
afternoon and Saturday.
The audiences at the Peoples theater
continue good. Chimney Corner" and
''Toodles' seeming to strike the public
favorably. Next week will be gala
week at the Peoples with the great
comedy success Of Our Boys" There
is no doubt but that the box receipts
will be swelled to an enormous extent.
Besides the regular Tuesday and Satur-
day matineeS. an extra one on Thanks
giving day will be made great feature.
The management have made an ar
rangement with the Minneapolis Lodge
of Eiks to give them grand benefit on
Friday, Dec. 2.bOth afternoon and even
ing, when an immense bill will be pre-
scented. Chimney Corner" and ''ToOd

the elaborate production of The Gladl-
atOr," which Manager Joseph II. Mack
has placed before the public with Robert
Downing as Spartacus, is tine realistic
effects introduced, which are all gotten
up with special regard as to their his
torical accuracy. The costumes, armor
and implements of war were all de-
signed by Herr John Lau, of the Berlin
Historical society, from models of
ancient Roman armOr in the pos
session of that association. The
arena scene used in The Gladiator
as is all the scenery, is from the brush
of the celebrated VOeghtlin, who is UNI
questionably the finest artist in this
country. 1t has been four years since
Mr.. Downing has been seen in Mime
apolis, and he was then leading support
to the gifted artistic, Mary Anderson,
whom he supported for three years.
While with Miss Anderson the fair
actress made ''IngOmar'' the principal

this play she and Mr.. Downing were
both seen at their best.
